[PATCH] x86, tsc: downgrade fast calibration failure message

From: Jerome Oufella
Date: Tue Sep 03 2013 - 10:10:24 EST


As pointed out by Paul Bolle in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/24/221, the
fast TSC calibration method may fail on some machines and result in an
error level message that does not reflect the severity of the case.

This patch lost momentum and wordsmithing the message was evoked in
subsequent posts but imho reducing the level does the job just fine.
